February 8, 2018"I wanted to let you know that [my daughter] sure has bloomed since working with you. She played very well in the tournament a couple of weeks ago. She as now learned the fundamentals. That is what most players never get. "

June 16, 2016"Thank you SO much for helping me! I can't tell you how much this means to me. You truly are the best! You don't have to take the time to help me, so it means so much that you are willing to do that for my team and me! THANKS! Hopefully something will change in your situation that might allow you to be our head coach......we're not giving up! :) "

September21, 2014"I am assuming that you are aware of how you perform a COMPLETE transformation from DEFEATED to EMPOWERED in one afternoon with YOU. This must be why you do what you do. :)
And, I could EASILY go on, using even more powerful words."

August 16, 2013Wow! Thank you SO much for your thoughtful, helpful, articulate,
and PROMPT response! Providing a personal example really helped
to clarify my situation and know that you really thought it
through before replying. It's obvious that you are an
exceptionally dedicated coach and teacher.

I am learning to just keep coaching no matter whatÖ.win lose
...keep teaching encouraging, fussing, disciplining and building
a team. Thanks for all your advice and encouragement. It
really does make an impact!

October 13, 2011
Thanks Coach. Your answer makes perfect sense - you are
clearly a volleyball guru! I'm excited to practice
this, and will let you know how it turns out. Thanks
again!

Thank you so much for your answer. Just knowing where to get the
answer was helpful, but you doing the leg work is awesome.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

August 28 11, 2009The email you sent me will definitely be added to my coachís
personal book on the first page so as to never forget the
important points in building a successful program. I
appreciate all the tips and certainly will be implementing
those.Ö.thanks, youíre the best! BTW, I will be ordering your
drills collectionÖI canít wait!

My
adrenalin is on a rush- I can't tell you how much chatting with
you has calmed my anxiety and upped my motivation! Again, thank
you for your articles....many times throughout the season I'd
open up an email from you and there it was in black and white,
the very thing I had been contemplating or that drill that
helped us prepare for the next big match....all I can say is
please keep them coming!

I am pouring over your book.. loving every minute of it. Thank you for
doing such a great job and spending the time on all of the topics that
coaches may have questions on.

I'm about half way through with reading your articles. Tryouts
start next week and I am so ready (mostly thanks to you). I wish
you could know how much you have already helped me! Thanks!

I love your website and your coaching philosophies , and would love to
send my daughter to a camp you put on to learn from you. So far, I
LOVE the ebooks. TONS of knowledge jam packed in there!!!

"The coaching personality I have now is attributed to what I've learned
from Coach Houser. I learned from his example and it has made me
better coach. I honestly hope you
consider checking out Coach Houser's website. He has free
downloads that are very helpful. The most helpful item is his Ebooks,
which you can get info from his website. I don't get any
compensation for promoting these sites other than I know you'll learn
from them as I
have."

Kelly Daniels

I am on page 95 of your book and look forward to the rest of it. I
am an avid reader and this is the best self-help book I've read.

Maria Rushbrook,
Former Head Coach, Roanoke Catholic School
~~~~~~~

I have read your ebooks and have found them to be very informative as
well as motivational. I think you do a great job of spelling out
alot of problems that today's coaches face and offer valuable solutions
to these problems. I really enjoyed the book that you dedicated to your
wife "I Can't Wait to Coach Today!!" This is a great resource for
Coaches at all levels!

Jeff Ray
Former Head Coach, Bluefield College
Bluefield West Virginia

~~~~~~~"I Can't Wait To Coach
Volleyball Today" is a wonderful information for a volleyball coach.
Whether you are new to coaching or a beginner there is great information
here for everyone. I think it is always important to reevaluate what you
are doing and this book helps do that with great ideas. Just because you
have always done something one way doesn't mean it will always work with
the changing game and more advanced athletes. This book will get you
thinking which is always a positive for a volleyball coach."

Danny Miller
Head Volleyball Coach, Averett University

I can hardly wait for our first practice in January. I am so motivated
by your great words and books. I feel confident that Iím going into this
club season with lots of great practice ideas and ways to get the girls
excited too!

Kate Horning, Head Coach, Post Falls, Idaho

~~~~~~~These e-books are a great source of Coach
Houser's personal experiences derived from over 20 years coaching high
school and club level volleyball. A tremendous starting point for any
beginning coach looking to get a head start on what to expect, and how
to work through some of the issues that they will surely face over their
first few years as a junior high, high school, or club coach. I strongly
recommend it for anyone starting to get involved in coaching at this
level, or an experienced coach looking for a fresh perspective!

Coach Houser's
articles are the best. Being a male coach, they help me relate to
my players so much better and this has made our team more successful.
If every coach read these articles, the sport would benefit nationwide.
His ideas are fresh, relevant, and insightful. My players enjoy
reading the articles as well. The articles I find particularly
interesting are the ones in regards to playing time and how to deal with
parents. I wish I would have had them in the early stages of my
coaching career when I took over a perennial losing program. If
you read anything about volleyball, read Coach Houser's articles, they
are the best.

Coach Keith Gay
Birchwood Varsity Girls Volleyball Coach

~~~~~~~Reading Tom Houser is like being in
the gym. He brings experiences directly to you from his own
practices and game courts. A thoughtful, successful coach, Tom
Houser looks exhaustively at the challenges -- and joys -- of coaching.
Well worth the read.

Mike Tully
"Yes I Can!" volleyball coach

~~~~~~~Dear Tom: I got the
e books and drill collection and what a worthwhile purchase it was!!!
The information is fantastic and I can't wait to put some of your drills
and ideas into practice. Reading your material has inspired me to
become a better coach, and have some of the success you had as well.
Thanks again for making this information available thru your website.
You're great!!

"Coach Houser has brought together a collection of articles that address
both the 'sport' side of volleyball, as well as the 'human' side of the
game. This combination is valuable for anyone working with players, and
gives a most unique perspective. The fact that the articles are based on
real life experiences adds to their value. Because they cover a myriad
of topics and issues they are useful throughout the season and
off-season too."

Coach Houser is a well known and very reputable source for information
regarding volleyball. I have looked into his background and had many
e-mail discussions with him and find that his information, philosophy
and good natured interest in the sport is second to no one's.

Interested coaches may wish to purchase some of Tom's coaching
materials as they are truly second to none I have seen, and my current
library, is quite extensive.

Andrew Brewster

~~~~~~~"I have gotten so much
other great stuff from your ebooks that I can't imagine the drills could be better. You can
use the statement as a testimonial- it's so true!"

Cecilia Methvin
Redemptorist High School
Baton Rouge, LA

~~~~~~~

Coach Houserís articles are not only about the technical
aspects of volleyball, but also about the coaching side of volleyball that many
coaches forget about. The issues he discusses are for coaches at all levels,
from the coach just starting out to the experienced coaches.

I am so pleased with your
info, drills, and advice you have given - I am constantly referring my
vball friends to your site. Thank you again for the awesome ideas.

I'm going through the
e-books--great stuff! The bigger picture things are terrific. You
know, I think you may have a future in this game...

Frank Guilfoyle

"
I Can't Wait To Coach Today" is a great
blueprint for coaching. Very good information that will give
direction to new coaches and present new fresh ideas to veteran coaches.
Coaches that aren't continually learning and adapting are falling
behind. I would recommend this book to all coaches as another source of
inspiration and affirmation.
